Spent a Saturday evening here in May and loved the simple style of cooking their fish dishes. No overpowering sauces or flavours, allowing the delicate taste of the fish to sing. Will definitely return.

Lived in Weymouth a number of years and have wanted to try this restaurant as love fish and it has always been highly rated. As it was so busy we could only book a table for 8:30pm outside sheltered and under a heater, no problem, however when we arrived our table wasn't ready, we had to wait to about 8.45,... More

it was very busy so service was a bit slow. We had lovely home made bread with a crab that was honestly disappointingly small as it was meant for 2 to share. Lovely atmosphere and gorgeous ladies loo!

Right next to the Fleet lagoon in Wyke Regis this eclectic restaurant has an excellent menu and the local Oysters are excellent, harvested from the fleet lagoon a few tens of metres away. It is one of the best seafood restaurants in the area and we were not disappointed. Prices are reasonable and the food is cooked to perfection. Staff... More

Having enjoyed some excellent seafood here in the past we booked months in advance for our recent dinner at the Crab House Cafe. The food, as we anticipated, didn't disappoint, the seafood is as fresh as the restaurant's coastal location promises and the equipment brought out with the crab is a fun element of a delicious dish. Even for a... More

I have eaten at the Crab House Cafe three times in the last three months and cannot wait to return. The food and atmosphere is great. A good range of fresh fish cooked simply to retain the delicate tastes. The staff are friendly and attentive without being pushy. A good wine list and a 'proper' cup of coffee to finish... More

My wife and I took our son and his wife here for lunch last weekend. We have been a number of times before so were not at all surprised that the the food was very good (it almost always is). Service was a bit down from the usual -- we had to wait nearly fifteen minutes for our bill. None... More

Seated at a window table overlooking the channel and beach the view was lovely even at 8pm. The main room has an open kitchen (nowhere for the chefs to hide!) and a wet fish counter to keep the fish... More
